Nesting Wizard

Live Nesting Status — Utilization & ETA at a Glance

Stream utilization, sheets completed, and time estimates while Sheet2Nest optimizes—purpose-built for live demos and long runs.

Surface the same live signals operators care about—current utilization, nesting phase, and ETA—without digging through logs. Complements the progress dashboard with a narrative tuned to streaming status during optimization.

Full Visibility

See exactly what the algorithm is doing at every moment

Time Predictions

Know how long optimization will take before it completes

ProgressMetrics

Five key metrics updated in real-time during nesting optimization

1

Parts Analyzed

Real-time part count tracking

Monitor how many parts have been analyzed and categorized. Updates continuously as the nesting algorithm processes your DXF file.

2

Sheets Generated

Live sheet creation updates

Track the number of sheets being generated in real-time. See each new sheet added as the nesting algorithm progresses.

3

Utilization Rate

Current material efficiency

View real-time utilization percentages for each sheet and the overall average. Optimize in real-time as your nesting improves.

4

Optimization Time

Elapsed and estimated time

See how long the algorithm has been running and get real-time estimates for completion. Adjust time budgets on the fly.

5

Performance Stats

Detailed computation metrics

Real-time performance indicators including placement attempts, collision tests, and optimization iterations per second.

More Nesting Wizard features

DXF processing

Nest DXF files in your browser with automated placement—sheet cutting optimization and CAD-friendly exports without installing desktop CAD.

Quick Add Part

Create rectangles, circles, brackets, and structural profiles from dimensions—live preview, queue multiple parts, and add them straight into nesting or cost quotes.

Part detection

Closed contours and holes are inferred from DXF geometry—less manual picking before you nest.

Nesting algorithms

Fast greedy plus optimized nesting for DXF sheets—many jobs reduce scrap 20%+ vs naive layouts; results vary by job.

Try it in the nesting wizard

Upload your DXF, review parts, set quantities, and export optimized layouts with utilization reports.
